And now it is time to.... LEVEL UP. CONGRATS!!
For this adventure they have key things that should happen to allow the group to level up. So you need not fight a thousand encounters or RP for a thousand hours.
The group actually missed two encounters before this one. If you would have buried the body you found on the road, then the wolves would have reached you. And I rolled for a random encounter, but the result was a non-combat one. So don't think you need to fight everything or search every area, etc. Your level ups will come as follows:
Finding Artifacts: +3 lvls
Defeating Villains: +? lvls One for every key location
- Doru vampire spawn, Barovia
Accomplishing Story Goals: +3 lvls
Not going to let you know exactly what you need to do/fight, but will give hints from here on out.
Again congrats on level 3, please post your new abilities, hp (average/lvl), and anything else new your adding in the RG here please.
